INDUSTRIAL CENTER S

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, June 4. With a rise of six points in Smelters; three in Union Pacific; four in Consolidated Gas: two and one half in St. Paul; two in Canadian Pacific and one point in Atchisou, the bulls had all the better of the argument at the close of the stock market today. There was various reasons assigned for the strength throughout the last. Tlie one dwelt upon the most and the one which caused the shorts to cover in Union Pacific and other grain carrying roads was the much more cheerful crop news and a break in the wheat market at Chicago. A3 was remarked yesterday, the buying in Union Pacific looked very much as if some influential inside interests was either accumulating long stock or covering short sales at a much higher range of values. Tho copper shares remained rather quiet despite the strength in all other quarters. The report of the Amalgamated Copper company for April shows net earnings a trifle over 9 per cent. Upon first consideration this was construed by the trading public as a very favorable showing. But after digesting the report and turning back the pages of history a few years, it will be seen that it is not at all flattering. t the time of the flotation of Amalga mated Copper, the actual metal was selling at sixteen cents per pound; at that time the company was paying 8 per cent (the same as at the present day) and showed net earnings of alnost 12 per cent. Today the Amalga mated Copper company is receiving in the neighborhood of twenty-five cents per pound for its production of copper and can only show net earnings of 9 per cent. If the metal market should decline to twenty cents per pound and remain at that figure for any length of time, the company would be com pelled to cut their dividend as they did on the former occasions. There was quite a sharp rise In the shares of the American Car Foundry company. particularly the common stock which advanced from 38 to 41. The talk of an increase In the dividend rate from 2 per cent to 4 per cent per year was the bull incentive. Further engagements of gold were announced but as a market factor had little or no consequence. At tho final close tonight the market shows substantial gains throughout the list with the following more or less confident for a continuation of the up ward trend. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET Descp.

BY EXCLUSIVE WIRE TO THE LA. ICE COUNTY TIMES

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, June 4. WHEAT Liquidation in the wheat market was upon a large scale today. Prices declined almost three cents a bushel for the active futures with a slight rally near the close from the low prices. The tenor of the news was rather bearish. Reassuring crop reports from Europe and a decline in the Liverpool market gave the bears an impetus to sell wheat. Export houses claim they are practically out of the market for wheat; prices on this side of the water' render exports almost prohibitive. ! Receipts of wheat at all of the primary markets were large compared with a year ago while clearances to Europe were small. Reports from several sections that the farmers were cutting wheat and using it for hay caused slight rally during the last hour of the session. The market, however, closed rather soft with bear traders in control of the situation. CORN After a slight decline at the opening in sympathy with the weakness in wheat, the corn market started strong and continued that way up to the closing hour. July sold as high as 54, which is close to the high prices recorded on the crop thus far. Reports from Ohio were very bullish. It is said that state will have to re-plant a largo area of corn damaged by the wet weather of the last two weeks. A better cash demand was noticeable. All the offerings in the sample market were absorbed at prices a shade higher than those of yesterday. Sales to exporters about 200,000 with a brisk demand reported. The market closed strong at about the best prices of the day. OATS Dull, lifeless market with a range of only three-eighths of a cent for the day. The trade centered mostly in the July option which had a firm undertone after a temporary weakness at the opening. Crop news a little more favorable; the rains being very benefical in several sections of the country. The market closed steady. PRODUCE MARKETS. Chicago, June 4. Easier prices were made on strawberries. The receipts were only 8 cars, but the demand as vet continues slow, owing to the cool weather and the rather poor quality of the offerings. A firmer feeling exist ed In the market for eggs. A good lo cal and investment demand was in evidence, while offerings were not so lib eral as of late. Butter prices were rirmlv held. Potato market was unset tied. New potatoes sold freely at pre vious prices. Quotations on round lots: Butter Heeeipts, 5.078 tubs.

HEARD ON THE BOURSE Mere hopeful tone is growing in banking circles although a great deal of conservatism is still maintained. A. O. .Brown and Co. It is unlikely that much recovery can be expected until after the report on cotton con ditions is issued on Tuesday, but it seems probable that purchases made around present levels will show a fair profit toward the end of this week. T. A. Mclntyre and Co. The precarious position of the crops, the uncer tainty of the money as well as the glutted condition of the bond market presents too formidable an array of bearish factors to warrant the development of anything like a genuine bull movement at this time, and we expect a dull, dragging market for the next week with the tendency downward.

NOT ALL A COMPLIMENT. Wife's Pride in Husband's Success Had a Tinge of Regret. The doctor and hig wife had lived to gether four years. She wa3 a widow when hft met her. He was a physician of note. Their life together wa3 a hap py one and no quibbling had entered the hojie to set. a bad example for their hopeful. But the wife had a reputation as a -wit. Her witticlsims and little sarcastic remarks were known far and wide. Her friends had all hoard of them. They had all felt the sting of them. The physician had been working with a hard case. He had spent day and night at the home of his patient and had won the fight for life. And he was accordingly well satisfied with himself. On hl3 arrival home one evening he turned to his wife, saying: "You see, wifey dear? I have pulled my patient through. He is now well on the road to recovery." "Yes, hubby, dear," returned the wife "But you are such a perfect master of your profession. You are so successful. Ah, I wish that I had met you five years sooner than I did. Then my poor, dear Billy would never have died." Miss Sanborn's Ducks. Miss Kate Sanborn, who has written much on the abandoned farms cf New Hampshire, tells cf an experience she had in raising ducks. The ducks proved to be enormous feeders and were consuming the profits of the farm without making the expected returns In eggs. One day the ducks were at the kitchen door clamoring for more food when an old farmer called. To him Miss Sanborn told the story of her failure to coax the ducks to lay. The farmer laughed uproariously and finally said: "Them ducks of yours, Mls3 Sanborn, is all drakes,"

LAKE COUNTY TIMES' OUAHANTURD CIRCULATION 10,000 AT OUGHT COUNT TO APPLICATION .NOT AFRAID FOR HERSELF. Child's Only Thought Was of Damags Shs Might Do Train. One day last winter a Vermont girt named Rosa Hlnes, 14 years old and a farmer's daughter, drew her eled to the crest of a hill half a mile long and then took a slide. Just beyond tho foot of the hill are railroad tracks, and as her sled got under motion she saw a train coming. She couldn't stop, and she saw that there mu3t be an accident, bo she waved her hood and shouted: "Get out of my way! Get out of my way, or you'll be run over!" The engineer saw the girl waving her hood, even If he didn't hear her words, and he brought a long train of freight cars to a sudden stop Just in time to let her shoot by the engine. This i3 probably the first time in the history of railroading when a girl on a sled was given the right of way over a train. When she wa3 afterwards scolded by her father she naively replied: "Oh, I wasn't scared for myself. I va3 afraid of bunting the train c2 the track." Women cf Yezzc. The women of the Island cf Yezz&, whence it is supposed came the original inhabitants of Japan, have a very peculiar custom of making up their faces to look a3 though they have mustaches. These women are called Ainus, and upon the upper lip of each Ainu belle is tattooed something that resembles a long, flowing mustache. To possess an artistically tattooed ornament of this kind marks a woman as especially attractive and her chances of making a good matrimonial alliance are very small if she i3 not thu3 adorned. Asa matter of fact, the men of the island chocse their spouses more for the beauty of this tattooed design than the grace of farm or charm of feature
